    I believe they do some monitoring/selling data. Plus they fall under the US’s Cloud Act, use CIRA instead for “protected” use 149.112.121.20 and 149.112.122.20, for “private” use 149.112.121.10 and 149.112.122.10, or if you want “family” use 149.112.121.30 and 149.112.122.30.

    Sure CIRA is a Government of Canada agency and this will fall into the same issue being discussed here, but you are not at the whims of the US. I personally run unbound with pihole to encrypt my data and I am venturing further into the encryption so that I can be put on more lists but hey it is great to be noticed for my achievements.
